Bronchial Provocation Tests in Asthma [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1970 Bronchial provocation tests are necessary for precise aetiological diagnosis in bronchial asthma. This is illustrated by the results in 9,364 bronchial provocation tests compared with skin tests and nasal tests. The technique of bronchial provocation testing and its interpretation are described in detail.

Bronchial Provocation Tests [PDF]
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1979 Certain patients, especially those with asthma, exhibit an increased bronchoconstrictor response to a variety of stimuli. Bronchial provocation tests have developed as a method of assessing this bronchial hyperreactivity. They involve the measurement of lung function tests relating to airway calibre before and after brief exposure to a constrictor ...
